MINI SERIES: Happy Hips with Denise Jones

All Levels 

Denise Jones

6 weeks

$110

Our hips are at the center of our structure. They provide stability as we move through the world in activities like walking, standing, squatting, and sitting. Over time events in our lives such as an injury or surgery can create shifts to the muscles around the hip joint causing imbalances, tension and pain.

In this series we will explore yoga poses and exercises to stretch, strengthen, and balance the hips.

Denise’s interest in hip anatomy and movement began prior to her hip replacement in January 2024. Through her healing journey she is continuing to expand her knowledge of the hip joint and related topics.

This series won’t be appropriate if you’re dealing with an acute hip injury and significantly limited mobility.
